With Katy Perry posting an adorable picture of her cat on Twitter yesterday—so much that "Kitty Purry" (er, get it?) became a trending topic on Twitter—we decided that it was time for a roundup of some of the better pet names in music.

Classic TV characters, dead authors, even straight-up insults—anything is fair game for pet-name inspiration.

Here are our 15 favorites. Be sure to let us know which ones we missed in the Comments section:
